This morning my client, Amstel Light, sent out an open letter to the Boston Bruins congratulating them on their Stanley Cup victory, but asking the team the night they spent $157,000 out at a bar celebrating and ordering more than 147-some beers.......who ordered the lone Amstel Light?

'Art in the Streets,' "the most attended exhibition in the history of the MOCA" (Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art) is no longer coming to the Brooklyn Museum this fall.

While it was originally reported that the B.M. would no longer bring the exhibit due to moving costs it has since been speculated that the museum is avoiding the controversial exhibit for its "celebration of vandalism."

"It is ludicrous to think that an exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum would have inspired gangs of graffiti goons marching down Flatbush Ave. You know what inspires tagging? Bad architecture. Commercialism. The sanitized state of the city."

"Say what you will, this art is democratic. It is electric. It is relevant. It's a shame funding has prevented this important show from coming home to New York City. Hopefully, another city institution will step up. MoMA, are you listening?"

"A graphic designer named Shane Keaney recently calculated that if the entire American population was as densely settled as that of Brooklyn it could fit into the state of New Hampshire, leaving the forty-nine other states as open land."

"Angered and frustrated by the sudden infatuation and commercialization of the graffiti movement, French street artist Kidult has taken to the streets of Paris in an effort to reclaim his craft. In a retaliation against major luxury labels, Kidult has tagged a string of stores in recent months that include colette, Agnés b., JC/DC and Supreme."
